I would also like this "right price" on 20x10.5 in graphite. Blake, you see what I am doing here;) lol Gotta pic of a 275/30 on a 10.5? Not changing tires for this.
Me likey...any pics of these wheels on a s5 white cabrio or coupe? I am thinking about 19" x 9 or 19" x 10...any thoughts on which would be better? I dont want too aggressive an offset as I want to maintain everyday driveability and avoid tire rubbing. Advice?
19s are not yet released on the CV3 - they will be coming this spring hopefully. Here are pictures of the 20s on a White Coupe. You can run a 20x9F and 20x10.5R with no issues on a 245/275 or 285 setup with no rubbing. Those A5/S5s have monster wheel wells.
Go 10's for sure. Even if lowered you could fun 10's with et20 no rub.
thank you mopsta81! Are you saying et20 all the way around? From reading this forum it seems et20 F/ et15 R is the preferred setup? I even read some folks preferring et25 F/ et 20 R.
One more question...typically not a huge fan of matte and these do not appear to be matte at all on the avus silver car above. Are they...or more satin? They look as bright as my anthracite bbs.
Just so the OP and others know, you will rub if you're low and try 285s with this wheel on all 4 corners. The rubbing in the front can be fixed by rolling the fenders, but there will remain a bit of rubbing in the rear when going over big elevation changes at freeway speeds. Just a little, but it's there.

The finish on the white S5 is called "Matte Machined Silver". They're a bit brighter than the regular mattes we do on other wheels.
Yea I was being too general. I run a 10" with et 15/20 lowered and no rub at all. I could easily go 10/20 as well.
Thanks again. Just to I am sure, are your saing 15 F/ 20 R? Thats the opposite of what I have read (20 F/ 15 R). Sorry for being a little dense about this.
I was referring to the graphite ones on the silver car.
Yes 15mm front and 20mm rear. And that is on a 10" with et35. 20 front and 15 rear would look awkward. No worries!
Gotcha, thank you Sir. I currently run 10" with et20 front and et15 rear (et35 w/ 15/20). If I am correct I will be 3mm more aggressive up front and 2mm less in the rear with the et30?
Hankook Ventus V12, those are actually 245s, very stretched! 275s or 285s would be ideal.
ah, gotcha. do you have any photos with 265/30 installed on the 10.5? my worry is with the clearance up front with the 275s.. it should be okay, but i'd like to see both.
You should be ok with the 275s. I'd double check with Jav and the guys at Vossen to see if they've heard anything.
Definitely avoid 285s (mine are v12s) unless you want to roll front fenders.
That said, I love having the extra meat on the wheels!
Check the link in my sig to Vossen's site for pictures.

thats really odd. a friend of mine is running a 305/25/20 lowered with a 20x10.5 +28 rear and he has no rubbing whatsoever.
Is he on coilovers? Next time I jack up the car I'll inspect the rear wheelwell to see where it's happening. Sounds to me like the liner.
